Trump aggressively supported fossil fuels. The Biden-Harris administration focused on replacing them with clean energy. Yet, data show the US oil and gas industries still thrived under both.
Cooling streaks indicate the potential for two Niña’s at once – Pacific and Atlantic, a rare event.
NOAA Coral Reef Watch
It’s rare to see both Nina’s at the same time, but both appeared to be developing in 2024. That could help soften hurricane season, but don’t bet on it.
